News for the Detectives

The Los Angeles Tribune has created crossovers with many series.

I have not been able to verify the crossovers with Wonder Woman, Moonlighting, and City of Angels The November Plan.

At first I did not consider this a crossover; however, after seeing many screen shots, I was convinced these did cross with each other. The Tribune's title font changed somewhere between Lou Grant and Remington Steele. The font from Burke's Law and Lou Grant match; and the font from the rest, incluiding Burke's Law (1994), match. With the two fonts in the same franchise, I deduced the font must have changed.

Burkeʼs Law

from ABC and CBS

Burke's Law (1963) was renamed Amos Burke, Secret Agent in season three. It spun off Burke's Law (1994).

The titular character of Honey West appeared on Burke's Law (1963) Who Killed the Jackpot? and Burke's Law (1994) Who Killed Nick Hazard?.
